Ga$ pri¢e$ got you down?

“Ballin’ on a budget” now has an electric counterpart. The all-new 20277 @kia EV3 takes everything we just talked about with the Seltos and pushes it into the EV world. This is Kia shrinking down EV9 energy into something far more attainable. Same bold, geometric design language, same upright stance, same premium feel, just in a right-sized package for everyday buyers. And that is really the story here. Much like the Seltos gives you baby Telluride vibes, the EV3 delivers baby EV9 vibes without the EV9 price tag. It is designed to make electric ownership more accessible, but it does not feel stripped down to get there. You still get up to 320 miles of range, fast charging from 10 to 80 percent in around 30 minutes, and available all-wheel drive. That is real usability, not just headline numbers. Inside, it leans heavily into that “budget luxury” feel Kia has gotten so good at. Nearly 30 inches of combined screens, available head-up display, 360 camera system, ambient lighting, and even streaming services like Netflix and YouTube. This is entry-level EV pricing with features that feel anything but entry-level. It is the same formula, just electrified. 2027 Kia EV3 Highlights: * EV9-inspired exterior and interior design * Up to 320 miles of estimated range * 10-80% DC fast charging in ~29-31 minutes * Available All-Wheel Drive * Nearly 30 inches of combined digital displays * Dual 12.3-inch screens + 5-inch climate display * Available Head-Up Display * Available 360º Surround View Monitor * Available Blind-Spot View Monitor * Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability * Native NACS charging port with Plug & Charge * Available ambient lighting and premium interior touches * Available streaming (Netflix, YouTube) #GTGarageTalk #KiaEV3 #ElectricSUV #AffordableEV #TXAutoWriters
